Anyone ever been prescribed Lithium Carbonate and/or Seroquel?

I take 300mg of Lithium 3 times a day, and one 50mg dose of seroquel before bedtime, anyone ever had and severe side effects from either one of these? Ex; anger outbursts, severe depression

Bipolar disorder itself can easily cause anger outbursts. Antidpressants can jack you up and make it worse. I personally have rage attacks when i take benadryl (allergy med), ativan (a benzo, like xanax or valium) or risperdal, also maybe sudafed or nyquil. When I was coming OFF seroquel, I seemed to have some of these issues, hard to tell because I am female and when I get PMS the bipolar gets worse, and when it's overcast a few days, and in the fall. . . so many variables!!

I don't think lithium is likely to be the culprit if it is the drugs causing the problem. I think this drug is prescribed for people who have trouble controlling their temper (as well as mostly for bipolar) For me, the side effects of lithium are constantly being thirsty, restless legs, hand tremor, upset stomach and then having to go to the bathroom all the time because I drink so much fluid. Oh, I also overheat easily. But what I have done is take lamictal at 125 mg/day, which I think is on the lower end of the dosage, then add 600mg a day of lithium, a level of meds I can handle (barely.) That combo is really helping, and I found nothing else for 15 years. Also, seroquel will knock you out for a couple weeks before you get sorta used to that, a family friend started on it a few months ago for depression and he told me that.

Good luck! This is really something you should call your psychiatrist about. Maybe he'/she can fit you into the schedule in a few days or talk to you on the phone. They can't leave you floundering.
